Hiding transform panel from 3D view properties 'UI' Panel from user?
I use this to draw it in the tool shelve

class ObjectTransformation(bpy.types.Panel):
    bl_label = "Transformation"
    bl_idname = "Transformation"
    bl_space_type = 'VIEW_3D'
    bl_region_type = 'TOOLS'
    bl_category = "Modeling Toolbox"

    def draw(self, context):
        layout = self.layout
        obj = context.object
        row = layout.row()
        row.column().prop(obj, "location")
        row.column().prop(obj, "rotation_euler", text="Rotation")
        row.column().prop(obj, "scale")
        row = layout.row()
        #Calls the CTRL A menu
        #row.operator("wm.call_menu", text="Apply Tans").name="VIEW3D_MT_object_apply"
        row.operator("object.transform_apply", text="Apply Rot").rotation=True
        row.operator("object.transform_apply", text="Apply Scale").scale=True
        row = layout.row()
        row.column().prop(obj, "dimensions")
